ERGObaby Teething Pads

they are sewn pretty securely; i've washed several times and they still hold their shape. just be careful about how you put them on the ergo straps. once, i had the velcro on the bottom side of the strap and it was rubbing against my baby's arm (he was wearing short sleeves), causing a bunch of scratches and abrasions on his poor little arm! so now i always put them on the strap with the velcro on the outer top side of each strap - the furthest point away from my baby's skin.

My 6-month-old sucks on these or leans against them when he is getting tired. Nice to be able to remove them for washing. I also pulled one off and used it to cover the airline seatbelt buckle that was threaded over his carseat one time because he could reach the buckle and was pulling it loose. I attached one of these pads around it and he just left it alone. Nice added benefit!

I've been using the Ergo with my son since he was just a few weeks old and we both love it. Once he turned around 4 months old and started putting everything he could get into his mouth in his mouth I got these sucking pads. Now he's 5 months old and we still love the ergo -- I like the ease and comfort and my son likes to eat it. The sucking pads are great because I can let him suck and nibble away while he looks around at the passing scenery and then I just take off teh sucking pads and throw them in the washing machine when we get home. That way we're both happy.
